Miltboot, I have not worn those OTK boots since outdoors, only couple of time indoors.
hh4evr1 and Love4heels, thanks, I feel very comfortable with those boots, they are masculine enough not to attract any unwanted attention. People see them but go on their own business' without reactions.
ff2, I agree on your points. Every outing and post about it counts and encourages others to try maybe someday something similar on their own.
And to keep it on the out and about topic, today I wore the same new ankle boots to toys'r'us and hardware store. Got some looks but no comments. I was there with two of our kids and my wife. She took picture from behind me not knowing it. Later she shared the pic with me
